    Više od samog ribolova

    Poludnevni Izlet (Ujutru) – Deljeni • 1 adult

    Bernd je bio veoma susretljiv i pobrinuo se da ima mesta na brodu. Veoma prijatan i pun znanja. Počeli smo tako što je Bernd uhvatio živu mamac za nas, a zatim smo krenuli niz reku da okušamo sreću u pecanju. Svi smo uspeli da nešto ulovimo, a nekoliko nas je zadržalo ulov. Bernd je bio izuzetno od pomoći kada je stupio u kontakt sa prijateljem da nabavi mudcrab, kojeg smo sreli na reci. Odlično smo se proveli i svakako ćemo se vratiti ponovo.

    Udoban i lak ribolovni izlet

    Poludnevni Izlet (Ujutru) – Deljeni • 3 adults

    Naš kapetan Bernd preuzeo je sav naporan posao oko pecanja. Mrežom je hvatao živu mamac u luci i estuaru, vodio je računa o bezbednosti i navlačio mamce na naše udice tokom celog dana. Podelio je s nama nešto lokalne istorije ribolova i učinio je čarter veoma prijatnim. Ulovili smo osam različitih vrsta riba i odlično se proveli na vodi. Preporučili bismo ovaj poludnevni ribolovni čarter. Cena čartera po osobi je bila veoma povoljna - Hunter

    Fantastično iskustvo ribolova

    Poludnevni izlet (PM) - Zajednički • 6 adults

    Rezervisao sam popodnevnu sesiju sa 6 prijatelja, naš kapetan Byrne (nisam siguran kako se piše) bio je odličan domaćin, duhovit, spreman da pomogne, odlično je poznavao teren, imao je sjajne priče, a i neke pernate prijatelje koji su prepoznali njegov brod što je dodatno obogatilo doživljaj. Ulovili smo nekoliko manjih riba i neke koje su nam odvlačile linije i pružile pravi otpor (morali su biti ogromni!!) Na brodu je bio frižider sa ledom jer šta je ribolov bez piva, zar ne!!

    Odlično iskustvo pecanja

    Poludnevni Izlet (Ujutru) – Deljeni • 2 adults

    Imali smo neverovatno poludnevno ribolovno putovanje u Kернsu! Bernd je bio fantastičan, čamac je bio čist i udoban, a ulovili smo neke sjajne ribe, uključujući bакалар, fingermark i queenfish. Sve je bilo dobro organizovano od početka do kraja, i definitivno ćemo ponovo rezervisati kada se vratimo u Кернс! Hvala vam

    Zabavno pecanje u Kернsu

    Poludnevni Izlet (Ujutru) – Deljeni • 1 adult

    Odlično je pecati u zaštićenim vodama uz mogućnost ulova dobrih riba. Kapetan se trudio da svima pruži najbolju šansu za ulov. Na kraju sam ulovio Queenfish lepe veličine, kao i GT-a. Zaista dobar dan i odlična vrednost za novac.

    Obožavali smo iskustvo izlaska na ušće reke sa iskusnim vodičem. Deca su toliko naučila i imala su prilike da koriste živu mamac. Ulovili smo nekoliko velikih tarpona, drugi su ulovili bakalar i mangrove jacka.

    Proveli smo sjajan dan, skipper je hvatao mamac, odlično smo se zabavljali sa njim i ostatkom grupe. Divno vreme. Nekoliko puta smo ulovili fingermark snappera. Toplo preporučujem ovo opušteno, bezbrižno ribolovno putovanje. Ponesite nekoliko piva i uživajte.

Šta se peca sa Paradise Sportfishing Adventures u Cairns

Sezona baramundija je zatvorena do februara. Ribolov na sabljaste ribe ostaje odličan, sa Sailfish vrstom koja se pridružuje ulovu. Greben oživljava dok se korali razmnožavaju, a plivači treba da se čuvaju meduza.

QUALITY FISHING AROUND THE NEW MOON

feb 20, 2020 • Cairns
The fishing heated up around the recent new moon in Cairns' Trinity Inlet. Although the live bait was challenging to find,the extra effort with the cast net was well worth it. The morning incoming tide was the most productive. Fishing on pressure points,some solid Barras were unable to resist the live baits. Queenfish and Blue Salmon also made an appearance. As the tides are getting smaller,we will be able to target the deeper holes again. The Full moon is soon approaching and the Big Tides are sure to produce some hot action again. Cheers Paradise Sportfishing Cairns

Summer Fishing Reprt

feb 26, 2017 • Cairns
It has been super HOT,WET and HUMID,but the fish have been biting. We've had plenty of rain in recent weeks and Trinity Inlet has had a solid,much needed flush of fresh water. While the live bait has been elusive at times,it's been worthwhile putting in the extra effort to get Sardines,Mullet and Prawns. The Black Moon is upon us once again with big incoming tides pushing hard in the mornings. Fingermark,Jacks and Barras have been hooked the past couple of charters. The pressure points right up close to the mangroves will continue to produce some solid predators during the next few mornings. Then, in a few days time when the tides get smaller ,we can get back to fishing the deeper runs and wrecks. The goal on every charter,is for you to end up at the Salt House Restaurant at The Pier getting your catch prepared for lunch or dinner. It's not a 100% success rate,but we put in a consistently strong effort on each outing. In the past couple weeks,Queenfish over a meter,Fingermark up to 70cm and Barras up to 80 cm have been landed. Cheers, John H Paradise Sportfishing Cairns

SUMMER CONDITIONS HEAT UP THE ACTION!!

sep 21, 2016 • Cairns
The recent northerly winds are a sign of the return to Summer Conditions. The water temperature in Trinity Inlet has been on a steady rise for the last couple weeks! The BARRAMUNDI are definitely becoming active and there have been a number of hookups on recent charters. The start of the peak Barra season is still another month away,but already we are getting consistent action. Taking the time to chase Mullet with the cast net has become worthwhile again! The other species,Queenfish,Mangrove Jacks,GT'S Fingermark etc have all become much more active. One of the recent highlights was Local Junior Angler Ruben from Edmonton landing hid first Barra. It was a 67cm very respectable Whopper!! Check out the smile in the photo. Tight Lines,hope to fish with you soon, John H Paradise Sportfishing Cairns

Seasons Are Changing

avg 26, 2016 • Cairns
It came without warning! All of a sudden the last few days the temperature has been on the rise and the winter conditions are leaving us! I always look forward to the arrival of September as the fish in the inlet begin to switch on from the rising water temperatures. Sure enough the last few charters have produced some quality fish. Our friends Taylor and Chlorise from Canada and France caught a mid sized Barracuda.While not a table fish it did put up a great fight. Ted and Jill caught a nice Queenie that jumped several times.As they were caravanning it was just the right size for the evening meal. The best fish of the last couple days was Chad and Rachael's 80 cm Jew Fish! It put up a terrific fight and was cooked up tropical style wrapped in a banana leaf!! The live bait continues to be abundant and along with the usual sardines a few prawns have been collected as well. Once again the black moon and the incoming morning tides are but a few days away. Big baits on the pressure points in close to the mangroves should start to produce some early Barras! Cheers John H Paradise Sportfishing Cairns

Tropical Winter Fishing in Cairns

avg 10, 2016 • Cairns
We are in the middle of Winter here in Cairns and the conditions have been tough! Along with the low water temperatures we have had unseasonal rain thrown in to the equation. Quite a few mornings we have had the rain coats on during the entire charter. The good news is that the live bait has been abundant,and except for the elusive Barramundi the other species have been on the bite. Some solid Queenfish,Giant Trevelly,Fingermark and the occasional Threadfin Salmon have been landed. I have had to go to lighter leaders and smaller hooks as the predators are just a little more weary this time of year. Rather then the large live baits that work well during summer,the smaller herring and the occasional fillet bait have been producing. The Salthouse Restaurant at The Pier has done a fantastic job of cooking up the fresh catches for our anglers. Don't let the wet conditions discourage you as it is still in the high twenties and the fish are still active. The full moon is upon us tomorrow and the big incoming tides in the mornings will surely produce good action for the next 4 to five days. Cheers, See you soon. John H Paradise Sportfishing
